this news caught me by surprise today:
A bunch of Yanks (called "Finally Light Bulb ) have produced an affordable, miniature size "induction lamp" for home use.
Identical in shape and appearance to the now banned light GLS bulbs with lumen /watt efficiency and colour quality similar to CFLs.
Instant start and no loss of life if cycled regularly as there are NO filaments to burn out.
Omni-directional light output - unlike most CFLs and LED lamps.
Can be safely handled and installed using the glass bulb - unlike fragile CFLs.
800lumen ( 60W equivalent) set to go one sale this month in the USA.Higher rated versions on the way, being made in India.
First to post a review / tear down on U-tube will get millions of hits.
